Use it for remote access of my machine in work, the packged version that staff members use to install onto home machines has ran into a few niggles but im guessing thats user error, it's basically an autoconfigure package that does all the settings for them

are you about to set up a VPN server? or looking into remote connection methods?

I'm not an expert on it by any means but I know the setttings are configured server side by VPN group polices that configure settings.. split tunnelling etc, thats on my cisco 877 anyways, I imagine the PIX etc to be a similar setup

I've never found any major problems with it, it works fine, I can do everything I can from my desk that I can from home. All I do is connect and forget.

I'm able to view all computer accounts on our domain fine, I'd guess it's more of a NETBIOS issue than the Cisco VPN.

If you are using Vista, you will have to download the latest beta, it works fine though.

Works perfectly here.

The only issue I have seen is a conflict with certain WLan drivers where the VPN establishes fine but you cannot pass any data. This normally results in the concentrator dropping the connection.

Works OK for a few different clients. It takes over your machine a little less then Checkpoint. I can even VPN over a VPN using VMWare

spoke to networking security guy about it - no help whatsoever. I asked what troubleshooting he had for different home routers & asked if he had installed it on his home pc....After he stopped choking on his banana.....oh what confidence.....
